I downloaded the ZIP and opened MSPDebugStackOpenSourcePackage_manifest.html, and noted:

[...] No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this software is permitted with respect to any [...]

which isn't BSD-3, and isn't free software.  I also see BSD-3 in that file.
We would need to carefully check what conditions apply to the parts of MSPDS that
are used here, and remove the non-free components.

I noticed PLATFORM := $(shell uname -s) and ifeq ($(PLATFORM),Linux) in a Makefile.
I expect that won't work on the Hurd.  Maybe make that unconditional.  I also noticed
CXX:=g++.  Possibly some substitutions or (setenv "CXX" (cxx-for-target)) are required
to make the package cross-compilable.

There is a blob in Bios/include/UifBiosCore.h.  Possibly it can simply be removed.

Greetings,
Maxime
